The Canada Goose

By Doug Leier
I  don’t think of myself as a veteran hunter. But when I put pen to paper and add up the years, I realize it’s been nearly 25 of them since I took hunter education in LaMoure in 1984.
During that time, I’ve already experienced some significant changes in our hunting landscape.

First Time on the X

Richard Kaplan

The Early Canada Goose Hunting Season

By Doug Leier

The season also ended well before federal frameworks allowed because North Dakota Game and Fish Department biologists were cautious about directing too much hunting pressure on giant Canada [...]

Wind and the Critical Role it Plays

By PJ Maguire
Picture yourself in a cornfield. It’s late October, the previous night this particular field was lined shoulder to shoulder with Northern mallards. Standing in the headlights of your SUV you toss a few crispy corn petals up in to the air, and watch as a gust of wind takes them back to the [...]

By Jed Fluhrer
Almost all goose hunters have experienced the high of finding a field full of geese. The feeling of anticipation is unlike any in the waterfowling world.
